Owen Hart surprisingly revealed Yokozuna to be his mystery partner for his WWF Tag Team Championship match against the Smoking Gunns at WrestleMania XI.

It was the super heavyweight's first appearance since the main event of Survivor Series the year before - when he was defeated by The Undertaker in a Casket Match.

This was a fresh pairing but one that was not without logic. Yokozuna wrestled Bret Hart for the WWF Championship at the previous WrestleMania, and Owen had spent the majority of 1994 embroiled in a fantastic feud with his brother. They were bound by a mutual hatred.

The match was solid and incorporated the rawness of the new team against the polished sibling champions - Hart inadvertently hit Yokozuna with a dropkick off the top rope, But, rather than the tired bickering partners angle, they regrouped to pick up the win.

Their victory crowned Hart a champion for the first time in his WWE career and created a feel good moment for the Connecticut crowd, at an otherwise forgettable ‘Mania.
